Four Palestinians injured in Israeli army raid on funeral march

RAMALLAH, Jan 29 (KUNA) -- Some four Palestinians were injured by rubber bullets and gas suffocation on Saturday after a raid by Israeli forces of a funeral procession for teenager Yousif Al-Khalil in Al-Khalil (Hebron) in the West Bank.
Israeli forces attacked the procession, firing rubber bullets and tear gas at the mourners, eyewitnesses told KUNA.
The army attacked the mourners without being provoked by stone-throwing, and the assault came without prior warning, they added.
15-year-old, Al-Khalil, died after being shot in the head by a settler, who along with other settlers attacked homes in the Safa district of Al-Khalil. (end) nq.sd KUNA 292001 Jan 11NNNN
